Grain - a truly authentic regional product!
That was always a really interesting topic for us: grain - made with Mecklenburg grain! We always really wanted to do that. So when the big still arrived, that was the first product to go through it. We only had one small challenge: we couldn't make the mash ourselves. A brewery had to do it.
So we asked the Marlow brewery in the neighborhood: "Sure - we'll do it!" That's how it started... However, with grain spirit, you have to distil all the grain as well. With beer, the grain is purified and the solids are separated. That didn't work for us. With the Marlower, it wasn't possible for the grain components to actually remain in it. They struggled a few times... but then it really didn't work any more.
We were able to distil some grain, but there was no supply in sight. In the fall of 2020, the decision was made: "We'll just buy our own container for making grain mash! But we won't be able to start making our own mash until March 2021...!". In any case, this news was enough to make us want to sell the little grain we had (600 bottles). Replenishment then from around April 2021...

MÆNNERHOBBY
REAL. NATURAL. HANDMADE - that is our motto at the MÆNNERHOBBY distillery. We produce high-quality spirits with a lot of passion and heart blood - since 2016! Martin Neumann had the idea to distill high-quality and regional spirits. He wanted to create something unique and different from what already existed. Although he did not yet know exactly where the journey should go, one thing was certain: the region needs great spirits and he wanted to follow this call. Together with his wife Katharina, Martin sat down to plan the future project. The name MÆNNERHOBBY was chosen relatively quickly - what else should a small distillery in the village where Martin distills good schnapps be called? At that time, no one knew how big the whole thing would become. Martin didn't have any real prior knowledge, but that wasn't a problem either. In our digital age, you can always help yourself. Of...
